alpha frequencies

Alpha Range - 8 to 13 HZ (I'm relaxed but awake).

 

You could use any oscillator to generate these frequencies. I would use something like Soundforge which can generate a range of waves at frequencies you specify. You could create a binaural beat wave which consists of left and right at slightly different frequency. This technique is used by many people for 'brain entrainment'. You'd create a frequency of 100hz for left and say 104hz for right. The brain then creates a third frequency which is the difference between the two which is 4hz (104-100=4). 4hz-8hz is the Theta range and is present in dreaming and is associated with mental imagery. Q:Why not simply create a 4hz wave and listen to it? A:How many stereo systems do you know that extend down to 4hz? Most Amps/Speakers begin at 8-20hz or higher. Binaural tones are a way of creating that 4hz cycle without having specialist audio equipment to reproduce it! Any Amp can reproduce 100hz... See?

 

There are a number of ways you could create an 8 to 13hz cycle. With Soundforge for example, you could generate a tone that's pretty low but not too noticeable in your music (30hz?) You could then apply an amplitude modulation to that tone at 8hz. The result is a 30hz tone which comes in waves of 8hz. Of course you could forget about generating tones and concentrate on the drum pattern or bass rhythm. You could make those elements hypnotic.
